Chapter 52: Visiting Tennessee (1)

For the sake of authenticity, Ji Xin deliberately rushed to New York one night in advance and stayed in the hotel arranged by the travel agency. It's not bad, about four-star level, there are single rooms and Internet, which is very satisfying for otaku who are not very demanding.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the team gathered in Flushing, and the tourists who went out shopping last night and returned late showed up one after another. Ji Xin, the mysterious tourist who returned to the team at the latest, was also explained by the tour guide Miss Lin Xue, mostly obeying the arrangement, not running around, paying attention to the time and the like.

Lin Xue's attitude was very bad when she reminded her, which made Ji Xin feel very wronged, and she was probably hated by this little beauty who laughed and had dimples, because she heard that if there was a problem with tourists, the tour guide's salary would be deducted, anyway, the interests of the travel agency would not be lost, and I don't know if it was true?

got on the bus, the reason for the proximity to Thanksgiving, saw that they were all a family or a couple, only Ji Xin was alone, fortunately, the person next to him told him that there was another young lady in this group who was also single, and the tour guide also specially arranged for the two to sit together, which made Ji Xin have a lot of good feelings for Lin Xue.

Another young lady named Xu Feifei got on the bus from Chinatown, when she got in the car and sat next to Ji Xin, both of them felt relieved, the two of them are of the same age, and many hobbies are similar, at least this journey will not be too lonely.

This time, in order to avoid the rush hour, they got up too early in the morning and went to bed too late, and most people in a car were rushing to catch up on sleep. It's Ji Xin's companion who looks very energetic, with the latest mp3, not stuffing words into his mouth, giggling and laughing.

Xu Feifei noticed Ji Xin's gaze, took off the headphones a little embarrassed, handed the snacks to him again, and asked in a low voice, "Do you eat, this is what my friend prepared for me, it has the effect of preventing motion sickness"

"No, thank you, I'm not used to eating these" Ji Xin smiled and shook his head, a little suddenly realized. The woman in front of her was thin and weak, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, and she didn't look like a greedy body.

"Well, in fact, I don't like snacks at home, but when I go out, my family is worried about motion sickness, so I have prepared a lot" The girl may feel that Ji Xin is very talkative, and she has become a lot more relaxed, patting the big bag under her feet and explaining with a smile.

Only then did Ji Xin notice that the tourists in the car were all carrying a lot of travel bags without exception, and there were even couples dragging suitcases. Only when he got in the car, the bag contained some change of washing**, now think about it, no wonder the tour guide is verbose with himself, I'm afraid he also thinks he's a rookie, and it takes a lot of energy to go out for the first time, right?

After chatting for a while, Xu Feifei continued to listen to the song and fell asleep, while Ji Xin resumed thinking about the shape and looked at the scenery outside the window. There are not many cars on the road, and the speed of the old American driver is even faster. The car traveled from New York through the tunnel to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

The first attraction on the tour is the Virginia Cave, which is commonly known as the "Cave of the Immortals", which is pronounced exactly as the English spelling shenandoah. In fact, this is an Indian Native language, which means "daughter of the stars". There are mainly all kinds of stalagmites in the cave, craggy strange stones, half-light and half-dark, winding paths wandering, each shape takes an interesting name, with the lighting effect, you can charge a fee.

In fact, the reason why it is called the Immortal Cave, Ji Xin thought that it was because there was a stone in it that looked like an old birthday star from a distance. The atmosphere of the team is good, and the tour guide does not arrange many shopping hours in China, and he will be ruthless if he does not buy. After Ji Xin took a few photos of himself and Xu Feifei, he stood behind and chatted with the tour guide.

After asking, I learned that it is very common for students like them to work part-time, and most of them use their spare time to earn some extra money. Of course, it will be more convenient for someone like her who can speak Chinese and English to communicate with tourists, and it will be more popular with the head office.

Ji Xin is also considering inviting some students to work and study to his ranch as guest tour guides. Because American workers can't afford to support them, and they have few opportunities to use each week, they concentrate on weekends, just when nearby students have time. Killing two birds with one stone, those students also need employment experience, and many universities will require children to take the initiative to go out for internships to earn practical credits.

"If you really want to do that, you can consider recruiting people from universities in Tennessee, and the school is very supportive. The state government is said to have tax incentives for companies that offer jobs to unskilled students. The current boss of this company has this aspect in mind, and I also mentioned it when I heard the old employees chat. ”

Ji Xin looked at the non-stop tour guide, and was a little speechless, this is too good to chat, it is worthy of doing this business, what a cow! Thinking about it later, maybe it was because of the profession that caused this result. After all, every time the tour guide travels, he says prepared lines, introducing the scenery or something, like Ji Xin, who doesn't look at the scenery and chats with him, there are really not many strange things.

Fortunately, Lin Xue still has a lot of work ethic, and she looks like the time is almost spent. I quickly picked up the loudspeaker and beckoned the lingering team members to get into the car. In the evening, everyone coaxed to go to the Thanksgiving dinner in advance, but the team leader muttered in English on the phone, and turned back with a humorous message to tell everyone that many restaurants are closed today because of the proximity of the holiday, and other restaurants are now booked after 10 o'clock. If you want to experience the Thanksgiving meal, you can only arrange for everyone to go to the world-famous dining room, named "McDonald's".

So the tourists, who decisively refused the offer, returned to the hotel and had a buffet. There's no way, Lao Mei's thinking is like this, no matter if the boss wears out his mouth on the holidays, no matter how much money you make, people will ignore you, and the more slowly you live in a small city, the more obvious it is. I heard that the scattered tourists in the future may not even be able to find the hotel, and the waiters also have to rest!

It was the driver who said this on the road, although he was joking, Ji Xin could still see the pride on his face, there was a kind of Tao Yuanming's taste of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". And these hungry and hungry people have become powerful and villainous who "can bend their waists and make me unhappy".

"Don't guess Lao Mei's thoughts" Ji Xin sighed at Xu Feifei, if this is in China, up to the local government, to the hotel restaurant owner, down to the enterprise employees have a business, they will not break the head. It is really the busier the festival, the busier the more profitable, and many tourist cities have arranged the reception task as a battle, and the results have been remarkable.

"You're too unkind," Xu Feifei couldn't help laughing, "Although I agree that your holidays are a time to relax, and you need to give it to your family and yourself." But everyone is still not as rich as Europe and the United States, they influence tomorrow's money, they don't care about bank deposits, we can't. There's no way to do anything about the New Year. ”

"I think you should be a news commentator, those TV stations have always liked your poisonous tongue, as much as you want" The tour guide also helped beside him.
